Well I am just starting my human Empireesque Warmaster Army, so it will be  what fits in with this
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

You'll want to check out the Dragon Men I suspect.

They're somewhere between a traditional High Medieval/High fantasy army, and GW's Empire and Bretonnia armies.  With prismatic dragons thrown in.

Dark elves; I want to use it for Warmaster and Warband with sabot bases :)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Went for dwarves, goblins and wood elves. But to be honest who knows which I might purchase if and when I get round to it.
I like the idea of the Lizardmen though.
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

Centaurs and Minotaurs, with some monstrous allies.  They're based on Greek myth.

Thanks

I had sort of worked it out once I had hit the post button . I should have thought about the astrological signs earlier

They are.  The problem I have with this is rebasing :(

I have a lot of these armies already and if I can figure out a way to make it work without rebasing or sabots I will ;)
